Most Scotsmen tend to bathe about this time of year, so if he hasn't lifted his kilt and sat down in the loch yet then yes, there will be blancmange about his person.

Let me see...we've had a Scotsman, a Welshman...I'll throw in an Irishman and a pub for them to walk into an ye'll ave a complete joke.

Ye can ave this one for free (allroight I'll give ye twenty Cronan ta take it away):

An Englishman, a Welshman and an Irishman were at the fair and about to go on the helter-skelter when an old crone steps in front of them.

"This is a magic ride," she says. "You will land in whatever you shout out on the way down."

"I'm game for this," says the Welshman and slides down the helter-skelter shouting "GOLD!" at the top of his voice. Sure enough, when he hit the bottom he found himself surrounded by thousands of pounds worth of gold coins.

The Englishman goes next and shouts "SILVER!" at the top of his voice. At the bottom he lands in more silver coinage than he can carry.

The Irishman goes last and, launching himself from the top of the slide shouts "WEEEEEEE!"

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.
